I made up one more Moda BlockHeads block yesterday. It is called Broken Dishes, submitted by Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree Quilts. It is the 28th block in the year-long sew-along. Joanna used all reds in her sample block, so I followed suit. I chose the 12" size because I have been making a lot […]
I think it is time for me to get back to Moda BlockHeads 3, which has been neglected in the past weeks. I slept all day Tuesday after my medical procedure. The anesthesia really knocked me out, but I am back to normal now. I took a very short walk with my friend (proper social […]
After my crazy week, I managed to log in some peaceful time in the sewing room on Sunday. I finished the second sunflower block for the runner I am making. There is a really engrossing book I am listening to that kept me completely fascinated. The sixth book in Lucinda Riley's Seven Sisters series, "The […]
I am visiting my father for a couple of days this week, so I won't be doing a full-blown post today. We have been attending to a couple of long-overdue doctor's appointments. Remember the MRI I had back in February? I finally got in to talk to the doctor about my results. That is what, […]
There you see 224 half-square triangles. These were an absolute breeze to make with the Easy Angle® ruler. In all the current rage for triangle papers, you may have forgotten about the Easy Angle. It is the fastest, easiest way to make half-square triangles that I know of. My son Ahren gave me a lot […]
Piecing the Past, Comfort and Joy blocks are all done. They published the suggested layout this week, but I am going to do my own thing. Their layout calls for a narrow lattice between the blocks and I want to spread things out more. This is their suggested layout below: I am going to add […]
I am excited to share that Gail S. is the winner of the Lori Holt book "Farm Girl Vintage". The random number generator thing was used, and her comment was the number that came up. I hope she will enjoy the book, as I highly recommend it for the variety of patterns and remarkably clear […]
In my recent sort out of the sewing room, I discovered that I had purchased this book twice. It is "Farm Girl Vintage" by Lori Holt. The book is full of great quilt block patterns, in sizes 6" or 12". I love it when books provide a size option. There are some cute novelty block […]
Over the weekend, I made three blocks from the Sunflower Seeds quilt pattern by The Pattern Basket, and turned them into a late summer table runner. I ordered the PDF file for immediate download and got started right away on my project. Margot Languedoc is the designer behind The Pattern Basket, and she is known […]
My new 4 inch Creative Grids Log Cabin Trim Tool arrived Tuesday afternoon and first thing Wednesday morning I was up and at it. My first block was completed by 7:30 AM. Do you think I could stop with one? No, I could not. Have you ever seen anything so cute? Unfortunately, I had things […]
